The room was very clean and the manager Tania was very friendly and helpful and provided some good recommendations of things to check out in the area 😊
I also really appreciated the electric blankets on the bed!

Some really good coastal walks set up by DOC. Some great board walks and coastal walks of various lengths. Peaceful area with most tourists not taking advantage of the walks and stopping in car parks for a quick look only. Warning: don't go off road near beachs. We towed someone out of the sand!

Haast is a definite stop and you must visit Jackson's Bay. Although itis a long way from Haast its a lovely drive and an interesting place when you get there. Make sure you take insect repellant as it is a MUST.
We ate at the hotel restaurant. Good selection of mains.
Lots of walks.

Haast requires some commitment to not just blast through to Wanaka or the glaciers. The visitors centre and the boardwalk (on way to Jackson Bay) are both worth an hour of your time. Plus all the points on the map just before and after Knights Point, Ship creek walks x2, waterfalls. An overnight stay is recommended to have two brilliant travel days.
Take snacks and a flask though, it's remote and you may not find something open when you are hungry. And sandfly repellent, and long clothes!

We only stayed in Haast for 2 nights as a stopover between Queenstown and Franz Josef. Although there is not a lot to do apart from various walks and some fishing we did do a day trip down to Jackson Bay. A lovely little village on the edge of the ocean and they have a great seafood restaurant.

Jackson's Bay was probably beautiful in the sun, it was pouring down whilst we were there!! There is nothing to see at Haast- The beach isOK but there are the awful black bitingfies in their droves, other than that it is just a place to break a journey if necessary.

Haast is a nice remote location close to the seashore and national park. When travelling there are the facilities that you would need, but limited in choices. There is a Pub and Cafe where you can eat, but beware of their hours of operation. Wifi and cell service seeks to be restrictive in the region should you be needing it.
Great spacious room. Everything you need for a few nights stay... comfortable bed, wee couch, table with 2 chairs, good kitchen facilities. You can tell it had been recently updated... bathroom was good with a nice big sink and mirror and pretty good shower pressure. Great walk straight across the road to the beach. We walked over 6 times on our 2 night stay. Great shop attached to motel. Easy drive into town to the restaurants for dinner or cook in your room.
Haast is a small town and the motel is located on the outskirts to town, a few minutes drive into the centre. Check-in was straightforward. The unit had a undercover car-parking
the room was basic but clean and comfortable, cooking facilities were adequate
My stay was for 1 night only as a pass through place on an Island tour
staff were very helpful and immediately responded to any concerns
From check-in to check-out, our stay was wonderful. The two-bedroom was the perfect size for three adults and the bathroom and shower were superb. Loved the water pressure! The location in Haast was perfect for walking to breakfast and to The Hard Antler Restaurant right next door.
The kitchen was well stocked with cooking pots and pans and the refrigerator adequate for our needs!
Excellent location. We arrived very late and the hotel manager was kind enough to leave the lights on for us and the key was in the door.
Honestly the best place to stay. Excellent facilities and so clean and tidy. Highly recommend and will always use Bay Road Motel as my base when visiting Haast. Thank you to management.
The motel is about 10-15km off the main road through Haast. However, it's a fast road. The accommodation had 2 bedrooms and good kitchen equipment, a washing machine and tumble dryer. We did the excellent short Hapuka Estuary Walk which itself is a short walk from the motel. Excellent value for a basic but good short stay.
The motel is an ideal place to break your journey between the fjord lands and the glaciers. The room was a good size and spotless with good facilities. Susie was particularly friendly and helpful and made our stay comfortable. Good food and drinks at the nearby Hard Antler pub/ restaurant if you wish to eat out
We absolutely loved this place, very clean & bed was comfortable. Great location, only a short drive to the beach. Courtesy coach available from The Hard Antler Bar & Restaurant just give them a call.
Will definitely stay again when in Haast. 🙂 10/10
Well presented, the unit was properly cleaned with everything that one would expect. It probably wasn’t a five star hotel but as a motel in a stunning position with everything needed for an overnight stop it is definitely worth a visit
Was upgraded to a queen bedroom by pleasant staff at this backpackers and motel. The bed was comfortable for a quiet night's stay. Quirky internal garden common area. Grocery takeaway behind the facilities. Good parking available.
We had one night at the Heartland Haast Hotel. Our room had everything we needed and was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Meals were of a good standard. Oh the views were so lovely too.
Everything. It was so peaceful and quiet. There’s a beautiful room where it’s so easy to loose track of time relaxing in there surrounded by plants. Best backpackers I’ve ever stayed at.
Haast is a quiet township, so accommodation is few and spread out. The hostess tipped us on a good dinner restaurant in the township but it was 13 km to drive. Hard Antler was good!
Susie was outstanding: very interesting & knowledgeable. The motel is a nice little oasis in an area with few tourist facilities. It is clean & comfortable.
